A couple of things for Thursday

Look at that stunning pillow that I received from Kirsten who blogs at Gemini Stitches in the X-Factor Pillow Swap. I love it, not only is it texty but it has some of one of my favourite fabrics ever, Authentic by Sweetwater. Thank you Kirsten, it is even better in person! By the way, I sent my pillow to Kirsten, where it is being well loved. A lovely end round for the swap.

I am participating in a new blog hop put together by my friend Heidi from Fabric Mutt. This blog hop features tutorials to make items for the office, home office, classroom and child's study area - you know, useful stuff.

Since I spend a lot of time in my office, I am looking forward to some ideas to brighten it up. My tutorial - on April 12 - will be to make a modern take away coffee/tea cup cozy and mug rug - which I need as I have a cup of coffee in my hand a lot of the time and coffee rings on my desk. I cannot be the only one.

The blog hops starts on Monday and here is the schedule so you don't miss out:

Tomorrow's post will let you know the schedule for the Finish-A-Long tutorials, which are also going to be excellent. I will also remind everyone about the expectations and the how to for posting their Q1 Finishes. So maybe you will be finishing something this weekend, like I will be, before all these tutorials get you starting new things too.

Such a great pillow - lucky you! Authentic was one of my favorite fabric lines too. Unfortunately, it came out just as I started understanding how fabric lines work and I missed getting my hands on lots of the pieces :) I got some of the black on cream canvas that I made into curtains for my bathroom - I just love them :)
